• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAU207 - No calculation has been specified for InfoObject & (data field &) ?

  The SAP error message RSAU207 "No calculation has been specified for InfoObject & (data field &)" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to execute a query or a report that involves an InfoObject (characteristic or key figure) that has not been properly defined for calculations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Calculation Definition: The InfoObject in question does not have a calculation defined in the context of the query or the data model.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may be designed to use a calculation that has not been set up in the InfoObject's properties.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the InfoObject is pulling data may not have the necessary calculations defined.
  InfoObject Configuration: The InfoObject may not be configured correctly in the InfoProvider or the underlying data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check the settings for the InfoObject in question.
  Ensure that the necessary calculations are defined for the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Review Query Design:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer and check the properties of the InfoObject.
  Ensure that any calculations or aggregations that are expected are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Update Data Source:
  
  If the InfoObject is part of a data source (e.g., DSO, InfoCube), ensure that the data source is correctly configured and that it includes the necessary calculations.
  If needed, refresh or re-activate the data source.
  
  
  
  Check for Aggregates:
  
  If the InfoObject is supposed to aggregate data, ensure that the aggregate settings are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the query again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the InfoObject and its expected calculations.
